    Arne Slot has confirmed that Cody Gakpo will miss several weeks and Federico Chiesa will sit out Liverpool’s Champions League trip to Inter Milan through illness, compounding the decision to leave Mohamed Salah at home amid escalating tension around the forward’s future.

    December 2025

    Senne Lammens says he is honoured that Manchester United fans are already comparing him to Peter Schmeichel, with Old Trafford chants asking if he is the club legend “in disguise” making the 23-year-old feel accepted after quickly displacing Altay Bayindir in goal. Signed from Royal Antwerp in the summer, Lammens has conceded 10 goals in eight outings but kept a debut clean sheet against Sunderland, taken over from Andre Onana and Bayindir, received pre match encouragement from Schmeichel and uses personal match journals to sharpen his mindset.

    December 2025

    Liverpool’s hierarchy have reportedly thrown their full support behind head coach Arne Slot in the fallout from Mohamed Salah’s explosive interview, making clear that the Dutchman retains final authority on selection and discipline as tension builds over the forward’s benching and comments about being scapegoated.
